Below the stage, Zhu Lu, who was in a daze, woke up. She looked at the scene before her in astonishment. How did she get off the stage?
"Zhu Lu, come quickly, Dai Huabin has fainted."
On the stage, Cui Yajie ran over and called Zhu Lu.
Zhu Lu's expression changed, and she nimbly jumped onto the stage, only to see Huo Yuhao and the other two celebrating their victory.
Zhu Lu was even more confused.
What's going on?
Wasn't she and Huabin performing their martial soul fusion skill?But she didn't dare think too much about it right now, and hurried over to the fifth class's homeroom teacher. The homeroom teacher was currently checking Dai Huabin's condition. Although Du Weilun had said he was fine, he didn't dare to be completely at ease.
"Teacher, what exactly happened? How did I end up under the competition stage, and why did Huabin faint?" Zhu Lu looked at Dai Huabin, whose mouth was stained with blood, and was so anxious she was about to cry.
"You really don't know?" The fifth class's homeroom teacher and Cui Yajie both had strange expressions."I really don't know! I clearly remember Hua Bin and I were preparing to complete our Soul Fusion Skill, but the next second I inexplicably ended up off the stage." Zhu Lu insisted she wasn't lying.
Cui Yajie wanted to say something, but the fifth class's homeroom teacher stopped her.
"Let's talk about it when we get back, this isn't the place."
Seeing the strange expressions on Cui Yajie and the homeroom teacher's faces, for some reason, a bad feeling suddenly arose in Zhu Lu's heart.
Soon, the three of them left with the homeroom teacher.
Meanwhile, on Huo Yuhao's side..."Class monitor, is this the gift you were talking about for Dai Huabin?" Xiao Xiao said, clearly shocked.
"How is it? This gift will definitely be unforgettable for a lifetime, right?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
"It's definitely unforgettable," Xiao Xiao said, her lips twitching slightly.
Wang Dong pouted, "How's the feel?"
"I have to say, it's quite soft... oh, no, it's quite average," Huo Yuhao blurted out, but quickly realized his mistake and corrected himself.
"Tch." Wang Dong snorted unhappily.
"Why do I feel like you're full of jealousy, Wang Dong?"Xiao Xiao noticed something was off.
Wang Dong's eyes darted around nervously, as he forced a smile and said, "What are you thinking? I'm just complaining about Huo Yuhao. This gift is truly outrageous. Luckily, no students were watching, or this would have spread throughout the academy."
"That's true. Hehe, if I were Dai Huabin, I'd probably want to ambush our class monitor outside in the future, otherwise, he'd never be able to vent his anger," Xiao Xiao giggled.Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. Xiao Xiao was right. Dai Huabin had planned to intercept and kill him in the original story. This humiliation would likely make Dai Huabin lose his mind. It seems he needs to prepare for the interception in advance.
Unlike the original story where Dai Huabin's interception happened at the beginning of the new school year, it's highly likely to happen earlier this time.
"Well done."
Just then, two figures walked over, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo. As for Du Weilun, he went to watch the battle for third place.
"Teacher."
"Dean."
Huo Yuhao and the others quickly saluted.Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly, reluctantly introducing Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, this is Qian Duoduo, the vice-dean of the Soul Tool Academy. He has some things he wants to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. Actually, he had recognized Qian Duoduo from the start. With that height and build, it was hard not to guess.
"May I call you Yuhao? How about we go over there and chat?" Qian Duoduo's tone was gentle. After watching this battle, he was certain that this was the person the Soul Tool Department needed.
These soul skills were perfectly suited for a vanguard soul tool master.Huo Yuhao hadn't expected that this point hadn't changed; the Soul Tool Department had still noticed him.
He glanced at Yan Shaozhe, who nodded slightly to him. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "No problem."
Qian Duoduo and Huo Yuhao went to the lounge inside the Soul Arena. When they arrived, they didn't expect there to be quite a few people, many of whom were staff members of the Soul Arena.
Inside the arena.
Yan Shaozhe watched Huo Yuhao being led away and shook his head helplessly. "You two little ones, go back to the classroom first. Remember to come to Shrek Plaza tomorrow morning to receive your award."Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao respectfully acknowledged and turned to leave.
Not long after.
Within the vast Shrek Outer Academy area.
A clear and bright soul guidance broadcast rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Whether they were in class, running, or even in the restroom, everyone heard it.
"The current freshman assessment competition has officially concluded. The champions are Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao from Freshman Class One. Let us congratulate them. At the same time, all students who have successfully passed the assessment, please gather at Shrek Plaza tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM sharp."The broadcast repeated three times before finally ending.
As soon as it ended.
Class One's classroom erupted in excitement, and Wang Yan, standing on the podium, smiled.
In the classroom of Class Two, Fourth Grade.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged a look, their expressions changing.
"These conditions are quite intimidating, but I don't think I'm worth that much," Huo Yuhao said to Qian Duoduo in the lounge.
After arriving in the lounge, Qian Duoduo got straight to the point and presented the Soul Tool Department's conditions, which simply required Huo Yuhao to join them.Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "No, your talent is your greatest value. You are simply born to be a Soul Tool mentor. If you join the Soul Tool Department, I plan to directly cultivate you into the leader of the Ultimate Individual Soldier Program."
"Dean Qian, can you tell me what the Ultimate Individual Soldier is?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Qian Duoduo pondered for a moment, "It's okay to tell you, anyway, you are Old Yan's disciple."
"Let me put it this way, the Ultimate Individual Soldier refers to someone who can change the outcome of a local war with their own strength. A person who possesses this ability is the Ultimate Individual Soldier.""This is what we researched and created to counter the Soul Engineers of the Sun Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao frowned, "Aren't these people just Super Douluo?"
In this era, ordinary Titled Douluo can no longer change a local war, but Super Douluo still can.
Don't think that a Level 9 Soul Guidance Fixed装炮弹 can obliterate a Super Douluo, but for some Super Douluo with special skills, you can't kill them.
For example, Yan Shaozhe, one of his soul skills allows him to be reborn from the ashes, it's incredibly powerful. In the original story, he relied on this move to tease the Holy Spirit Cult.Once you fail to quickly eliminate this Super Douluo and allow him to lie low, you'll know what a nightmare truly is.
In the original story, after the Sun Moon Empire destroyed the three kingdoms, they spared Shrek Academy. Did you think they were truly kind? Unable to bear to see this ten-thousand-year-old academy disappear?
Wrong. It was because Shrek Academy had too many Titled Douluos and Super Douluos within its ranks. If you don't wipe them out in one fell swoop, ha, then you can forget about ever having a peaceful life.
Even ten thousand years later, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Federation military used two God-Slaying Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons to eliminate Shrek's high-level officials before daring to show their faces.Qian Duoduo shook his head: "No, the range of skills required for an ultimate solo soldier is extremely broad. According to our vision, an ultimate solo soldier must master assassination, infiltration, sabotage, and be proficient in manufacturing and using various soul tools."
"In any war or confrontation between powerful forces, they must be able to quickly identify weaknesses and carry out precise strikes. At the same time, as an ultimate solo soldier, they can also operate outside the battlefield, providing various forms of assistance to their own side, a presence that can instantly change everything. That is the true ultimate solo soldier."
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then tentatively said, "Isn't that just a Super Douluo?""It's just a Super Douluo who can't make soul tools."
Qian Duoduo's lips trembled, and he became a little anxious. He suddenly looked at Huo Yuhao, feeling inexplicably that this kid was really impervious to reason.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Huo Yuhao quickly said, "Think about it, everything you said, except for not being able to make soul tools, can't a Super Douluo do the rest?"
Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment, as if that was really the case. No, how did he get drawn into this? Thinking this, Qian Duoduo was about to retort, but Huo Yuhao interrupted him.Huo Yuhao continued, "The ultimate single soldier you're planning to create, to put it bluntly, is an individual capable of changing the entire situation. But no matter what, this individual must be a top-tier Soul Master, right?"
"Isn't that just like Grandmaster? He's at the level of a Limit Douluo. What does such a powerhouse represent on the battlefield? A Limit Douluo in any country is a nation-destroying existence. Who dares to pat their chest and say they aren't afraid?""Even if it's difficult to cultivate Limit Douluos, as long as I cultivate a few more Super Douluos, the deterrent power will be equally astonishing. In this era, no one dares to underestimate the destructive power of Super Douluos."
"To be honest, I'm not optimistic about this Limit Individual Soldier plan you're talking about, because a ready-made Limit Individual Soldier is right in front of you. He's a top-tier Soul Master expert, but you're not using him. Instead, you're thinking about cultivating a new so-called individual soldier from scratch. I personally think this is an extremely wrong choice, and the path Shrek Academy should truly take is to strengthen the overall teaching quality and research level of the Soul Guidance Department.""Isn't it too far-fetched to think that a single, ultimate soldier can stand against all the soul engineers of the Sun Moon Empire? Frankly, instead of wasting a lot of time cultivating so-called ultimate soldiers, it would be better to cultivate more excellent soul engineers."
"Powerful soul tools combined with powerful soul masters, that is the future vision for the Douluo Continent. The Sun Moon Empire has already started down this path, but we haven't, or rather, some people have thought of it, but most people in this environment haven't converted to that way of thinking yet.""The reason why the Sun Moon Empire is so powerful is because they have the Hall of Bright Virtue. The soul tools produced within the Hall of Bright Virtue are always of the highest quality. At the same time, their overall teaching structure is extremely complete. The older generation stands at the forefront, educating the next generation. Generations of effort have made soul tool technology increasingly advanced, and that is what makes them so terrifying."
"Their most terrifying aspect is also precisely what we should learn from the most. We are already the strongest in soul master teaching, but not in soul tool masters. We still have a long way to go."
"That's all I wanted to say. If I have offended anyone, please forgive me."Huo Yuhao's long speech ended, and Qian Duoduo was already sitting there with nothing to say, his eyes full of surprise.
Some of what Huo Yuhao said coincided with the plans he had been preparing, such as strengthening the training of soul engineers, enhancing the scientific research level of the soul engineering department, and combining soul masters and soul engineers. However, the arrangement for the ultimate single soldier was different.
The ultimate single soldier they were expecting was a combination of a top soul master and a top soul engineer.
Kong Deming: "Who's calling me?"
If Huo Yuhao knew what Qian Duoduo was thinking, he would definitely frown.During the Peerless Tang Sect era, Kong Deming was the only person who was both a top-tier Soul Master and a top-tier Soul Engineer.
Even the original Huo Yuhao never truly achieved that. How many Soul Tools did he use in the later stages?
He even used Rong Nianbing's artifact and the Tang Sect hidden weapon, Guanyin's Tears, during the final battle with Di Tian.
The funniest thing is, after nurturing Huo Yuhao for so long, he became a god and went to be a dog. Wasn't that a waste of effort?
Moreover, with the current level of the Soul Engineer Department at Shrek Academy, you want to cultivate a top-tier Soul Engineer?
Keep dreaming.You want to fly a plane without even attaching the wings?
Are you trying to pull a "Here comes the little flying stick!"?
Are you trying to fool me?
Qian Duoduo fell silent, clearly not wanting to continue this topic.
Because he always felt that what Huo Yuhao said made some sense, but he didn't want to admit it.
But he also noticed that Huo Yuhao had many insights into soul tools, and after thinking about it, he said, "Let's not talk about the ultimate single soldier for now, tell me your thoughts on the development of the Soul Tool Department, I think you have a lot of insights."Huo Yuhao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What insights could I possibly have? If I had to say something, I would recommend that the academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy conduct exchange student programs. We send people to learn their knowledge, and at the same time, we attract some rogue Soul Engineers from the Sun Moon Empire."
"The Sun Moon Empire's understanding of Soul Tools is clearly far beyond ours. Instead of burying our heads in our own work, we should integrate their ideas and make them our own."
Qian Duoduo raised an eyebrow. He had heard this from Elder Mu as well.
Could it be that Elder Mu had also taught this kid?Huo Yuhao noticed this and was a little puzzled. Was there something wrong with what he said?
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "We've considered what you've said, and even have plans in that regard. Alright, it's getting late, let's get back to the main topic. Do you still plan to study in the Soul Tool Department?"
"I'm willing to take the Soul Tool Department as an elective, not as a major. Currently, I plan to put more effort into cultivating my soul power," Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.
He had already thought it through. He would first quickly improve his cultivation, and then find an opportunity to learn about soul tools, so that he could use his powerful spiritual power to reverse-engineer the creation of soul tools.One more thing, he still has to learn magic later, and his brain is really not enough. Even a mule needs to rest.
He wasn't a genius in his previous life, so it's impossible for him to master everything as soon as he transmigrates. He has to start from the basics.
Qian Duoduo showed a hint of regret in his eyes, "I understand. If you want to take soul tool electives, you can come to the soul tool department at any time, and I will arrange someone to teach you."
As he spoke, Qian Duoduo handed Huo Yuhao an identity card, "This is an identity card that allows you to freely enter and exit the outer court's soul tool department. Take it."Huo Yuhao took it and put it away.
Qian Duoduo left with a heavy heart.
Without a doubt, Huo Yuhao's words today had clearly affected him.
"The Soul Engineers in your world are similar to the Forgemasters in my world in some ways."
Suddenly, Ilex, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, "Teacher, you're awake?"
"Yes." Ilex's tone was gentle, "Yuhao, when you go to study Soul Tools later, I will secretly copy the manufacturing methods, it will be useful later.""Your task is still to learn magic. As for forging skills, you can learn them later when you're stronger. Just collect more metal resources for your teacher in the future."
"No problem, Teacher."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression shifted slightly, and he agreed.
Iliex said, "Your attack methods are still too lacking. I've left you two simple magic skills, directly imprinted in your sea of consciousness. Remember to retrieve them. Once the first star ring of the Sun God Pillar in your body is activated, you can begin learning magic."
"Thank you, Teacher.""Huo Yuhao quickly thanked him, but Ilias laughed and scolded, "You are my disciple, there's no need for thanks."
